The January 6 Committee has released a website of its final report, including an animated timeline of the attack. Previously
Good question. I wonder if there is a way to download or mirror this. Or whether I should buy a paper copy.

Pretty sure the timeline begins in November. We know all about Jan 6. Show us the conspiracy.

Is there a downloadable copy somewhere that preserves links and formatting ?

In Sunday talkshow news, Arkansas governor Asa Hutchinson says: “I do not believe that Donald Trump should be the next president of the United States. I think he’s had his opportunity there. I think Jan. 6 really disqualifies him for the future.”

Remember when Hunter Biden's laptop attacked the Capitol, injured 140 police officers, stole government property, did millions of dollars in damage, obstructed Congress, tried to overturn an election and wanted to hang the Vice President?
Me neither.

Meanwhile, Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) says: “If this is not a crime, I don’t know what is. If a president can incite an insurrection and not be held accountable, then really there’s no limit to what a president can do or can’t do.”

I'm pretty sure that the timeline started even before then. Wasn't summer of 2020 when Trump started whining about if he loses the election then that's proof that it was rigged?

Mainstream Republican lawmakers and voters now act like this is all on Trump, and that this is in the past. But the reality is that nearly all Republicans should be disenfranchised for their part in their act of treason, however seemingly small or incidental their roles might seem. That there are no consequences for these people is going to come back to haunt this country, the next time there is a Republican president.

And this is exactly why nearly all Republicans should not be allowed to vote or hold office post-January 6, and I mean that very literally: Hutchinson gave Trump his full support in 2016, even after everything known and on public record about Trump. And he is counting on the media and the public not to hold him to account for his own actions that lead to this act of treason. Everything that followed after 2016 is on Hutchinson and others who also backed or voted for Trump.

Bookmark that quote for when Hutchinson "reluctantly" supports Trump as the 2024 Republican presidential nominee.

Thank you, They sucked his brains out! - I'm like, where was he? He was impeached twice before this. There were numerous opportunities to censure him even out of political opportunism and yet. He wouldn't have a damn thing to say if the red wave would've wove.

In addition to implying that he wouldn't "accept the results of the election" during his first campaign, he was also a prominent supporter of the "birther" conspiracy theory for the duration of his predecessor's two terms.
Donald Trump has been openly undermining the peaceful transition of power in the United States of America for a very long time.

He didn't build the wall. He didn't lock her up. He didn't overturn obamacare. He didn't cut your taxes. He didn't pay his taxes. He didn't ban the muslims. He didn't end the war. He did get impeached twice and he did attempt a coup.
They seem to forget all this. I'm beginning to think his rallies have one of those Men in Black amnesia rays.
One of his talents was keeping people focussed on the present moment. He'd get up at 3am, take a shit and tweet 'feeling cute might bomb iran idk'. Then we have to deal with that all day. The next day it would be something different. He knew how to do this because he came from reality TV. You can't have days where nothing happens, you'll lose the audience!
The side effect of running the white house like a reality tv soap opera is that anything from a week ago is old news. Two years is an eternity, his audience has truly forgotten about it. This is why his occupancy felt like it lasted decades.
Erasing the past is built into the MAGA movement. It's in the slogan. The 'again' part refers to a fantasy that replaces history. The fantasy is a great comfort, like a warm bath. Reality is stepping out onto the shivering cold tiles and dripping wet in the biting air. They want to stay in the bath forever. So the coup didn't happen or it didn't matter, look at the rubber ducky!

LA Times article from Friday explaining that much of the evidence the committee collected will not be able to be released before Tuesday's GOP takeover, and may be hidden from the public for *30 years* once it gets sent to the National Archives:
Just days before it disbands and loses control over the millions of pages of evidence it has gathered, the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection has released transcripts of just 126 of the more than 1,000 interviews it conducted...
Committee spokespeople did not respond to multiple questions about what information the committee will be able to make public before it shuts down on Tuesday. After the committee dissolves, its records will be handed over to a yet-to-be-determined successor committee, then to the House clerk, and eventually to the National Archives, where they’re expected to be shielded from public view for at least 30 years.
There's apparently a ton of documentation, including texts and emails from the Secret Service, Dept of Defense and Mark Meadows, "handwritten notes from high-ranking Justice Department officials" and video footage, among other treats, that has not been publicly released and probably won't be before Tuesday.
Once the committee’s records end up at the National Archives, they will be extremely difficult for the public to see. House rules shield records given to the National Archives from public view for a minimum of 30 years, with sensitive information being held back for 50 years.

This CNN article from October 2016 shows he was wanting to march on the Capitol to overturn an election since as early as 2012 with Obama's reelection.

So what was he saying on Jan. 7? It's so nice that, years after Trump's Presidency when it seems like he's not as omnipotent with their base as previously thought, these Republicans have finally found the strength to take a stand against him.
Just days before it disbands and loses control over the millions of pages of evidence it has gathered, the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection has released transcripts of just 126 of the more than 1,000 interviews it conducted...
I know this is easier said than done and involves potential actual jail time, but I hope some brave Committee member or staffer just releases everything anyway.

Possibly the most well-documented crime in history and there are people serving weekend sentences in county lockups who will spend more time in jail than anyone involved in this who wasn’t physically part of the mob storming the Capitol.
